Now that I have said that, if you are using OpenLDAP as an authentication
source (and not just binding to it), there is a password policy overlay you can
use that you can set the number of passwords you save and password quality, and
so forth. Described here:
https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin26/overlays.html#Password%20Policies
But using LDAP as a place to store your password hashes is only a little better
than NIS and I would recommend against it. If you want to use LDAP for storing
user data, I have no problem. But use Kerberos for authentication and LDAP for
authorization. And use FreeIPA instead of OpenLDAP.
